Law - International Business Law Online Graduate Certificate - MSL Program

Return to: School of Law

Pitt Law’s Online International Business Law Certificate program helps students advance or begin their careers in international commercial law. The curriculum focuses on key foundational topics in U.S. and international business law applied to business transactions, and to the resolution of cross-border disputes through litigation, mediation, and/or arbitration.

After completing the International Business Law Certificate, students will have a solid working knowledge of the complexities of cross-border business transactions, a roadmap of the potential pitfalls and most likely areas where disputes will arise, and the framework for how to either avoid those issues, or work toward resolving them if a formal dispute arises.

The IBL Certificate is an 11-month, accelerated program. It consists of five courses designed to be taken in order. Each is eight weeks long.  The IBL courses are taught by experienced legal professionals serving as part-time professors, and by Pitt Law Faculty.

Students may elect to combine their certificate studies with the Online MSL core courses to earn both a Master’s Degree and a professional certificate in as little as two years, studying part-time.
